I'm going shooting tomorrow and I'll be able to try out my new Encore Endeavor. Currently, I have some Barnes 285g Spit-Fire MZ's, Barnes 290 T-EZ's, T/C 250g Shockwaves, and .44 cal Hornaday 300g XTP's with Harvester green cruch rib sabots. Am I going to run into any issues using any of those? I know the SW's will work.

Also, can you guys please post your experience with certain bullets in this gun or the Pro Hunter (since they're basically the same gun).

the MMP HPH-24s work well with .451 bullets. The HPH-12s are too tight. I just tried the 3petal-EZ last Friday and they are too loose. 3petal shot 3 inches high at 100 yards with my Encore PH. I only shoot the 300 grain Speer Uni-Cor soft point.

Have use 300 grain 45 cal. XTPs and they shot well with the 24s. Gun didn't like the black crush rib sabots. I use both FF and FFF T7. Both shoot about the same.

I don't know what kinda charge you plan on using,but the pb shot good out of mine.But i was pushing
them to hard.Other than that you have what i have tryed besides the 240 xtp black sabot,which did shoot good
out of mine.Of course every gun is different

Hopefully the Barnes SF MZ's fit well. I really like them out of my Genesis and would like to continue using them with the Endeavor.

SW, how did you do mounting your scope? UPS made another delivery yesterday. I ordered some "Crushrib sabots' Now I have 3 different MMPs and 4 Harvester sizes to experiment with in my Encore. Now all I have to do is get to the range.

I did good. It's amazing how high quality the Warne base/rings are. Very good looking and very strong. This was the easiest scope mount I have ever performed. The high rings are perfect for this gun and me! I don't do all the lapping of the rings, setting up a plumb line, or using a torque wrenchlike some people. I'm not competition shooting or a sniper. As long as I'm putting all of my bullets in the vital area during practice, I'm a happy camper.
